Zoox’s Robot Software Infrastructure team is looking for a senior/staff software engineer to help build the core platform services that power configuration and runtime systems across our autonomous vehicle fleet.
Our team develops full-stack systems that manage startup behavior, runtime settings, and software/hardware configuration across vehicles and cities—ensuring safe, consistent operation at scale.
Example Challenges
How should a vehicle determine what to do when it wakes up?
How can a fleet coordinate updates across time zones for 24/7 service?
How do we detect and recover from misconfigurations in runtime?
If you're excited to work on foundational systems that keep a robotaxi fleet running smoothly in the real world, we’d love to talk.
In this role, you will:
Design and build robust microservices for vehicle config and runtime systems
Develop startup-time and runtime auditing/control of software and hardware settings
Own service architecture that connects vehicle and cloud for dynamic configuration
Collaborate with vehicle software, tools, and operations teams across the company
Help drive long-term technical direction for platform configuration infrastructure
Qualifications
8+ years of combined experience in device/edge software, cloud systems architecture and development
Deep experience designing, building, and operating cloud-based microservices and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
Proficient in Kotlin or Java, Python, REST APIs, and familiarity with C++
Experience building data pipelines and APIs between cloud and edge devices
Strong systems thinking and ability to understand complex, cross-cutting architectures
Bonus Qualifications
Experience in robotics, autonomy, or large-scale distributed systems
Familiarity with vehicle environments, maps, GPS, and OTA updates
